Chocolate covered Strawberries Craft Along this Sunday at 3:00PM EST!

Good Morning!

I've had a really funny idea for a Valentine's Day treat and thought it would make for an entertaining craft along! So let's get together this Sunday and see how this goes!

Things you'll want on hand...

White Chocolate (Or white candy melts)

Red Chocolate (Or red candy melts)

Sculpting tools

Parchment paper

Fresh strawberries (rinsed and patted dry)

Edible powder pigments in primary colors as well as black and white

Vodka (to work with the pigments)

Fine paint brushes

I'm going to make a small batch of red and white modeling chocolate in advance,  in case I want to use some. The recipe for how to do this is featured in the following episode...

You are a treasure! :)

Amanda Williams

Ugh I missed it

Shouldof

We’re having crazy thunderstorms where I’m at today and it will be the perfect background when I get off work and can watch this!

The Ghost in the Attic

Thank you Christine, much appreciated! Can't wait to watch 🌹

Eric D

So stoked to be able to state, "Please accept my apologies, however, I am unable to attend your football party as I have a craft along to attend." :o)

Paige Phoa

Homage to Stranger Things! brilliant ; D

Diane plevelich

Hope everyone has an absolute blast!! Sadly I'll be cleaning for company and crafting my homemade Chex Mix, peanut butter chocolate chip pizookie, and other snacks galore that day (super bowl). I'm not a sports person, but marriage is about compromise lol. XD I'm into the snacking part of super bowl LOL. That's about it! Having said that I would much rather be tuning into the livestream, followed swiftly and surely by the precious Puppy Bowl. Perhaps I can sneak away and hide somewhere like a closet and tune in like the Gollum I am while my husband wanders around "JENNNY!! HEY! Where did you go?!? I need some help in the kitchen!" *continues to quietly munch on Chex Mix in the closet and types away on laptop*

Jenny McKinsey

Wow I love this photo ❤️

Lace LaVey

Love this photo! Can’t wait for the live stream! Missed the last one sadly. 😔

Melissa McCrummen

Omg someone had to say it. Came to the comments to make sure...thanks for not letting me down

Sigh. I have a girls date planned fir the movies and lunch and stuff to see Lisa Frankenstein. This craft along would have been one of my favorites. Oh well... Have fun everyone 💌

B

That's a great question Jessica! I think I'll have about three of those bars on hand, because you'll want to be able to dip them adequately :D

Christine McConnell

I cannot wait!! This will definitely be an absolute thrill for my first craft-a-long! I have been a long time fan and one of my best friends look so much like you I am going to try to get her to join me! 🥰

Daphne Emery

I’m so excited ❤️❤️❤️

Miso

Sounds like fun!

Jennifer Lewis

Voilà,I've already set my alarm because at this time in France I would already be in my pajamas and ready to go to bed. But I'm going to try to resist to participate in my first livestream 😍.

chaz

Yay! So excited!

Rochelle

My deranged scientist brain craves units! Say for the red chocolate bar, is 1 - 7 oz chocolate bar from Oh Nuts adequate? Do we need extra for casualties…thanks!

Jessica Bunce

Hi Eric! I've heard you can use lemon juice as an alternative :D

Christine McConnell

Hi Emily! It shouldn't make or break it! It will just affect how light you can get a few small areas. :D

Christine McConnell

Yummy.

Elizabeth Ann Scarborough

How important is the white edible pigment? I found a set on Amazon that had all of the colors but white. I can’t find a set that has all of them.

Emily Martin

I'm in love with this photo!!!! Can't wait for my first craft-along!
